About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman began appearing in the aisles of Rite Aid. Every time a delivery driver approached him with groceries, he’d whisper something into their ear before disappearing as mysteriously as he arrived. One day, a delivery driver whispered back, ‘Your wife forgot to pick up milk again.’ The old man vanished, and from then on, whenever someone saw him, they’d joke, ‘Must be Mrs. Smith’s secret grocery spy!’

2. In the early morning hours, when only the night shift workers were around, a mysterious voice started echoing through the empty aisles of Rite Aid. ‘Where’s that aspirin?’ demanded a gruff tone, followed by the sound of someone rummaging through shelves. Finally, an old lady appeared from behind the counter, shaking her head with a smile. 'Same guy comes in every week,' she muttered. 'Asks for his usual—aspirin and a sense of direction.'

3. At closing time, a young delivery driver parked his truck outside Rite Aid and stretched. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘can’t believe I’ve been here since dawn.’ But as he walked past the pharmacy window, he noticed something odd—an old man with a shopping basket full of cans, moving too fast for someone so frail. The delivery driver watched in surprise as the old man zipped around the aisles like a whirlwind, tossing items into his basket with remarkable speed. Just then, an elderly lady approached him, smiling warmly. 'Excuse me,' she said, 'he’s always like that—we call him our “super shopper.”' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking to himself, 'Guess some people never stop surprising you.'

4. At closing time, a young delivery driver parked his truck outside Rite Aid and noticed something odd. The parking lot seemed unusually quiet until he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see rows of medicine bottles dancing in perfect rhythm to the hum. Startled, he slammed the door shut again and raced home to tell his neighbor. Since then, whenever someone mentions Rite Aid at closing time, everyone just smiles and nods knowingly.
